Built for libraries that people need to search.
Three ways teams use plycdn today, and exactly what each one relies on.
Education and learning platforms
Course providers and training teams keep years of recorded lectures, webinars and course material. Learners should be able to ask a question and land on the minute where it is answered.
- Learners search across supported languages and jump to the relevant moment in a lesson.
- Lectures, slides and course packages are searchable together, with the timecode or page on every result.
- Give each institute or client its own sub-organization, with its own keys, content and usage, kept apart from the rest.
- Upload, browse and play inside your own application with the Angular and React packages, through links your backend signs.
Media libraries
Archives of video and audio are only as useful as your ability to find what is in them. Store them, stream them and search what was said, in one place.
- Move a library in with the S3 or Azure tools you already use, and serve it from your own domain.
- Adaptive streaming at the qualities you choose, with a poster and a scrubbing strip for every video.
- Search by what was said or shown on screen, and replace a file without leaving a stale copy in the index.
- Delivery is reported by area and by day, so you can see where your audience is.
Enterprise knowledge
Policies, manuals, training recordings and briefings sit across many systems. Give people one place to ask, with answers that show their sources and respect who may see what.
- Documents and recordings are answered together, and every answer cites the page or the moment.
- When the library cannot support an answer, people are told so rather than handed a confident guess.
- Restrict a file to named people or groups, and keep a library in step with your own storage with connectors. Both are part of the plans that include them: Enterprise for permissions, Enterprise for connectors.
- Every organization sees only its own content, and key and bucket changes are written to an audit log.
Something else? plycdn hosts and searches video, audio and documents. If your need is outside that, tell us and we will say plainly whether it fits.

How many hours, how much of it is video and which languages. We come back with a figure and an organization you can test against.
